Could Blue Origin beat NASA back to the Moon ? Blue Origin's billionaire founder has unveiled a new spacecraft designed to touch down on the Moon. Announced during an exclusive presentation in Washington on May 9th, the new lander is reportedly capable of delivering cargo, robotic rovers and even astronauts to the surface of the Moon. Although it loosely resembles NASA's original Apollo lunar module, the new vehicle is almost entirely autonomous and is able to land and deploy its payload without human intervention. A star tracker and flash LIDAR system will also enable it to navigate on its own as well. "Now that we have mapped the entire Moon in great detail, we can use those preexisting maps to tell the system what it should be looking for in terms of craters and other features, and it navigates relative to that," said Bezos. "It uses the actual terrain of the Moon as guideposts." Blue Moon will be equipped with Blue Origin's new BE-7 engines which use a combination of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen - two components that can theoretically be replenished from the Moon's own resources should scientists find a way to mine them. "We know a lot now about the Moon that we didn't know back in the Apollo days or even really just 20 years ago," said Bezos. "One of the most important things we know about the Moon today is that there's water there." Source: Space.com |

Best: Great numbers. Good atmosphere in the start of the campaign. Best2: 3rd The King's Own Hussars. Only one battle in and i can already feel this will be a great company Worst: My rally point skills. Its been almost 4 years since i was not an admin ingame, so its gonna take a few battles to get my skills back. Funniest: Me defending fort alone and all of the sudden there is a enemy tank behind me at the flagzone. That was.... well.... funny. Most hated player: No one. Most loved/liked player: Everyone Best Battle Photo - https://cmp-gaming.com/topic/1573-best-battle-photo-medal/ Other: Thank you to everyone that joined. Next week we will have even more action.

Perhaps the Death Star isn't so far-fetched after all... Scientists in Romania have built the world's most powerful laser with an output of over 10 petawatts. The ridiculously powerful device, which was built as part of Europe's Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI) project, is able to put out a tenth of the power of the Sun - the equivalent of 10 million billion watts - and is the most powerful laser, as well as the most concentrated power, humanity has ever built. Funded by the European Commission, the laser resides in a specially built facility called the Extreme Light Infrastructure Nuclear Physics facility (ELI-NP) in the Romanian town of Magurele. It is so powerful that it is capable of literally vaporizing matter, however it is unlikely that scientists intend to harness the technology for use in weapons. Instead, the laser's main purpose will be to assist scientific research in various fields including medicine, radioactivity and particle physics. Incredibly, scientists are hoping to make the laser even more powerful by combining two 10PW beams together to deliver "focused laser intensities of up to 10^23 watts per square centimeter, at a wavelength of 820 nanometers and pulse lengths of 25 femtoseconds." There are even plans to build an even more powerful laser at another location in the future. A news piece about the project that was filmed last year can be viewed below. Source: Extreme Tech

No need to worry. You can accept it.

Congratulations @GracefulOutlaw !

Its gonna be full action FH2 Friday's for sure!

Nice to have you back @Mekong

Oh Yeah! FH2 Action! Lets Go!

To Russia with Love Posted by: Eat Uranium 21.04.2019 18:00 GMT Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update. Today we are showing off a couple of renders of some old friends in new clothes. As part of the program of Lend-Lease, the UK and the US provided the Soviet Union with thousands of tonnes of supplies - everything from rubber to trucks. Amongst this essential supplies were also provided many hundreds of armoured fighting vehicles. The Soviets first learned of the M10 in March 1943, though they were not seemingly enamoured with the concept, taking several months to order just two for evaluation. One of these was used to measure mobility and reliability, which was determined to be good. Certainly as good as the domestic equivalents and very similar to the M4A2 tanks. The only real objection was to the open top. Gunnery trials were delayed into 1944 by a lack of ammunition, and while the gun was liked, the crew ergonomics were not. Only 50 M10s were ordered, and they finished arriving about the same time as the gunnery trials completed. They were delivered critically short of spares and other equipment, and training proceeded with a lack of manuals with crews who had not any previous tank destroyer experience. In the end, 44 of these vehicles were split up between the 1223rd and 1239th Self Propelled Artillery Regiments, who used them in Belarus and Poland respectively. No more M10s were requested, instead the M4A2(76)W would take its place. Our Soviet M10 was modified from the original by Agus by Matt Baker. The Valentine was perhaps the most liked of the various tanks received by the Soviets from the British. Small, reasonably well armoured and with good reliability, they could be found on the front lines all the way from Moscow in the winter of 1941 through to the end of the war. Replaced in British service by the Churchill by mid 1943, it remained in production through to 1945 almost exclusively to equip the Red Army. The tank went through several different designs, and was produced in both the UK and Canada. The Mk VII variant was a Canadian built version of the Mk II with a new US made transmission and GMC 6004 engine. More parts were made by castings, and the BESA coaxial machinegun was replaced with a M1919A4. In total, the Canadians would make 1420 Valentines, with all but a handful being sent to the Soviets. Ours was modified from Montoya's Mk II by Matt Baker.
